BIGBANG Hanoi concert ticket rollout & scam warning

Overview

Vietnamese bank VPBank confirmed it will co‑organise and sponsor BIGBANG’s 2026‑2027 World Tour concerts in Hanoi, set for 24‑25 October 2026 at My Dinh National Stadium. The ticket‑sale schedule begins with a seat‑map and pricing release on 3 August, followed by a VIP‑member survey, an early sale for BIGBANG VIP members on 13 August, a second early sale for VPBank Mastercard holders on 14 August, and a public sale opening on 17 August.

The organizers later published the full seat map, showing ten ticket categories from 1 million VND restricted‑view seats up to a 10.5 million VND Ultimate VIP Package, and reiterated the three‑phase sale timeline while urging fans to buy only through official channels.

A July 29 statement added that all tickets will be sold exclusively via the CTicket platform, highlighted the concerts as BIGBANG’s first world‑tour stop in nearly nine years and a celebration of their 20th anniversary, and noted AEG and Carpa as co‑organisers. On 6 August VPBank warned that scammers were advertising “internal” or “private” tickets at inflated prices and reiterated that no such channels exist, urging fans to purchase solely through the authorized CTicket system to avoid fraud.

Travel‑booking platforms reported a sharp rise in demand for Hanoi accommodation as the concert approaches. Domestic hotel searches on Klook jumped nearly 50 % year‑on‑year in July, while international searches rose about 30 %. Traveloka data showed overall travel‑related searches for the event were more than four times the normal level, indicating a significant tourism boost and heightened competition among fans from Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia and other Asian markets.
